Friday May 14, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
After stroking an RBI single to tie the score with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning, Doug Flynn delivered a sacrifice fly in the 11th, enabling the Rangers to shade the Blue Jays, 4-3. The game-winning RBI was set up by a walk to Larry Parrish, double by Pat Putnam and an intentional walk to Leon Roberts. One out later, Flynn drove in the decisive tally. [The Sporting News]
